For those of who do not know, for the past two years, I have published the annual Dean’s List. It’s a list of people whom I had built up a significant relationship with and they have, in some way, made an impact on my life for that year. It’s almost like a gratitude list. I’m simply acknowledging and giving thanks to these people because I know that I could not accomplish anything in my life without the relationships that I have built, personally and professionally. Here is last year’s Dean’s List and 2006-2007 entry. [...] [...] I must admit that this entry is nearly 5 months overdue.

I was thinking of you earlier today since your birthday is coming up. I hope you are doing well. Lisa Hey Dean,

How come you didn’t come up with a Dean’s List for 2008? I was thinking of you earlier today since your birthday is coming up. I hope you are doing well.

I did however, send you a personal note for this honour back in January… so… I am now leaving an acknowledgement and “Thank You:… I would like to also say, for anyone looking for great web design, this is the place… Well, actually more than Web Design….. Dean has an excellent grasp on the essential components of Marketing, particularly Internet Marketing… (Blogging, Viral Marketing, etc…) Plus, the added bonus of being able to translate what a person wants via phone, email etc… and delivering the completed package…. Without having to be “Face-to-Face”…. And that is what the internet is all about… building relationships, building your business, exchanging ideas and concepts from around the world… and “Creating” something of Value…. He is truly a “Chief Web Evangelist”…. Hello Dean,

I’m posting it here as a way to archive my thoughts. It’s also a good way for me to give people some context on The Dean’s List.

My dear friend Dean. You're such a thoughtful, endearing person. Really! I'm touched by your email. How often do others think about others these days without – as you said about networking – a sales pitch in disguise. Dean – you're heading to some exciting places. You're on the right journey. And you will meet more magical people along the way that will change and move you in ways you would never have dreamed off. I admire you the most for doing the things that scare you. Reaching out to people when you're not an extrovert can be very challenging. And you've taken the leap. Good on you! Reading your email gave me hope to continue on the path unknown. It's comforting to know that we're not alone and if for some reason things don't go in the direction we thought… well… we simply turn back, back track and find a new path. I'm on a flight to Barcelona from Sydney now. Haven't been on email for the last week or two and I wanted to have a clear head space when I read your email. This year is going to be a HUGE year. It's our year Dean. Let's all dive into the deep end and rejoice in 12 months at all the wonderful adventures experienced. :-) Maria This is the coolest end of year/ new year idea ever!

I want to thank everyone for their kinds words, publicly and privately. And to think, I was this close to not even publishing it. It is truly my hope that a few people will pick up on the idea and let their list know about how grateful you are to them. Yeah- I know, it's kind of mushy. But once a year isn't too much to ask for, right? If there was ever an idea that should spread, then I do think this would be it. And yes, Scott, as you said on your blog, I hope it becomes a meme. I know a few of you have emailed me privately and toyed with the idea. I definitely hope that you do it. And I will be the first to push you along. It has so little with it being an ego thing for me. Of course, notoriety never hurt anyone. But when you see what I see, then you can't hope that others catch on to a similar vision. Isn't that right, Carol? Quite a few doors of opportunities have opened up to me recently because I sent this out to about 150 of my closest contacts. And I'm pretty sure the same would happen for you as well. Like I said, surround yourself with the right people and all things become possible. Geez, where do I come up with these lines???
